First of all, it should be made clear that there is nothing wrong with buying Nexus S 4G accessories strictly for protection of your smart phone. For example, if you are interested in buying something like a Nexus S 4G screen protector, there is a very strong chance that at least part of why you buy it in the first place will be to protect the screen of your smart phone, even if that is not your ultimate goal for the screen protector. Even then that should not be the only deciding factor as to why you buy accessories, this is even true for screen protectors.

You might be wondering at this point what other reasons there could be for purchasing a screen protector for the Nexus S 4G besides to protect the screen. You could also use it in a stylish way, such as to accent your own personality or personal tastes with the phone. The smart phone itself is a matte black which is not that interesting on its own, but when you purchase the right Nexus S 4G case or screen protector, you can add a touch that is uniquely yours without compromising the structural integrity of your smart phone.

Accessories do not only add style and protection, they can also enhance the functionality of the device. A very popular accessory for any device nowadays is a spare charger. A charger can come in handy when you are on the road and are miles away from an electric outlet and don't have an extra battery at your disposal.

A standard battery can really only last about four days of heavy use, not charging it over night can result in a catastrophe. An extra charger can prevent this from happening. Or if you don't want to buy an extra charger, you might consider buying an extra battery to keep your device juiced up while you are on the go.

This is a similar accessory to an extra charger in that it probably won't make you look that much more stylish than you already are, and it won't really offer any protection against damage to your phone, but it will give you more power on tap that can be used when you are on the move, and for many people, this is reason enough alone to purchase such an accessory. In the end, consider the many reasons to buy accessories besides protection.
